Alma sits about as close to the center of the Lower Peninsula as a town can, which means it gets a little of every kind of Michigan weather. Middle Of The Mitten Tree And Landscaping keeps lawns steady through all of it — mowing, edging, trimming shrubs back into shape, and hauling out whatever each season drops. Spring cleanups open the yards up; summer keeps them even; fall brings the long haul of leaves under the big street maples. Beds get weeded and mulched so the plantings have somewhere to go. A yard here is a small piece of ground held against a wide open sky, and it shows when it is kept.
